Wouldn't these burlap scrubbers make kind of cool gifts? You could whip up a bunch at once and tuck them into housewarming baskets, or even as a unique hostess gift when you go to a friend's for dinner.

Are you planting any herbs this spring? I've decided to devote an entire section of my garden to herbs this year, but I've got to get a move on; spring is happening with or without me! Do have herbs that you always plant? Or perennials that you've cultivated?

We'll be visiting with family and watching General Conference this weekend. If you've ever wondered what that's all about, here's a little video, and the whole thing is available online. Hope your weekend is great too!

PS For Sam's birthday (coming up in a couple weeks) I want to make him a mix-CD of songs about trains. He requests that I sing a train song EVERY night at bedtime and I only know two. I figure he'll love the CD, and it'll give me some new material. Anyone have any good recommendations of songs with trains in them? Grown-up, but kid-friendly songs preferred, as Clay and I will be listening to it as well:)
